Crowdfunding et journalisme. In the past few years a number of projects have cropped up which are trying to use crowdfunding as one mean to finance individual journalism pitches as well as journalism-related companies.
In this week’s podcast we speak to those who have ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt’ when it comes to crowdsourcing revenues and can share the lessons learned along the way, as well as hearing from those taking their first steps on this path. Interviewees included in the podcast are: David Cohn, founder, Spot.UsBobbie Johnson, co-founder, MatterHenry Peirse, founder and CEO, GRNKarim Ben Khelifa, co-founder and CEO, Emphas.isRachel Howells, director, Local News South Wales/Port Talbot MagNet For some background reading you can see more about the launch of Emphas.is last year at this link, as well as the launch of Matter just last month.
Crowdsourcing. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Le crowdsourcing, ou externalisation ouverte[1] ou production participative[2], est l'utilisation de la créativité, de l'intelligence et du savoir-faire d'un grand nombre de personnes, en sous-traitance, pour réaliser certaines tâches traditionnellement effectuées par un employé ou un entrepreneur. Ceci se fait par un appel ciblé (quand un niveau minimal d'expertise est nécessaire) ou par un appel ouvert à d'autres acteurs. Atlas des Paysages de la Loire-Atlantique.
